A BRUTAL MURDER.

Natchitoches Review - What ap-
pears, from the evidence We have
heard, to have been brutal murder,
was perpetrated here last Friday
christmas eve) night. Fee Spay,
middle aged and inoffensive colored
man, and Abraham Carris. young
negro man, who was married to the
stepdaughter of the former, lived in
the same house on Second street.
On the night in question, they were
both drinking, and while in the house
together, their wives having gone to
church, Albert Thompson heard them
quarreling. A short time after he
heard fall and on euteriug the house
saw CARTS standing on the gallery,
and Spay lying in front of the fire
place, with bis feet in the FIRE. After
pulling the PROSTATE man ont of the
fire, he asked Carris what be had done,
and the latter replied: have killed
the id niger" The neighbors
were summoned and Spay was found
to have received deadly blow on the
head with base ball bat, from the ef-
fects of which he died a few hours af-
ter, remaining unconscious until after
his death. As soon as the neig hbors
began to come in and it was seen that
Spay was dying, Carris got his over.
coat and started to lcaye'the house,
but Albert Thompson, the colored
man above mentioned, with the assist
ance of Madison Jones and another
colored man whose name we do not re.
member, took charge of him and
brought their prisoner to the sheriff
who placed him in Jail, where he is a
present. The men who acted sc
promptly in arresting the murderer ane
placing him in the custody of the law
deserve the thanks Of every goot
citizen.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the hack, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection Of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very
aisagreeahle itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application Of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense Itch
ing, and eFecting permanent cure.
